One thing I remember learning as a kid, was that there's a sucker born every minute. The old adage is true...
Believers of 5G conspiracy theories have apparently been buying a $350 anti-5G USB key that—not surprisingly—appears to just be a regular USB stick with only 128MB of storage..."The 5GBioShield makes it possible, thanks to a uniquely applied process of quantum nano-layer technology, to balance the imbalanced electric oscillations arising from all electric fog induced by all devices such as: laptops, cordless phones, wlan, tablets, etc.," the company says, adding that the USB stick "brings balance into the field at the atomic and cellular level restoring balanced effects to all harmful (ionized and non-ionized) radiation."
Wow... that company sure threw a bunch of nonsense together that if you don't think about it or know science, sure sounds like science... but it's utter bullshit.
One person who does take 5GBioShield claims seriously is Toby Hall, one of the members of the Glastonbury Town Council's 5G Advisory Committee. Hall told the BBC that he "felt a 'calmer' feel to the home" when using 5GBioShield. Hall said "he had no regrets about buying it and since plugging it in had felt beneficial effects, including being able to sleep through the night and having more dreams," the BBC wrote.
Okeydokey fruitcake...

Anyone play this? Know if the game is any fun, anything remarkable? Apparently it's ultra-violent, which is not a surprise it's a Devolver Digital game, and it looks like SRG is addicted to them! Quite honestly ultra-violence doesn't do anything to me. Not sure if all that gore is supposed to impressive or shock me or whatnot, but it doesn't.

They had been hired to carry out a client's fantasy of being tied up in his underwear and stroked with a broom.
The judge concluded that "the facts of the case are unusual".
I think the judge made a good call...

“They were still intact and we don’t think there is any risk of contamination or spread,” Raj said.
Thanks Raj, but somehow, I'm just not entirely reassured...

If anything, this technology now gives plausible deniability and with improvements will make video evidence obsolete.
And that is of course a real problem. The news will show actual videos and people will just say it's a fake...

Could be real problems down the road, but for now it gives us some amusing memes.
It does. It's quite amazing what one person can do today. A few decades ago such "special effects" would have been possible only by a huge group of talented individuals. That said, I was surprised (perhaps I shouldn't have been) to find out that this is popular in the porn industry. Overall, it's fairly benign today, but just imagine what a country, such as Russia, could do to influence elections by employing deepfakes.

Any love for Athena?
It's quite... interesting, noting the differences between the Japanese and North American art

Hey, do you any of you know any of these people?
You don't. None of these people exist in real life. They were created using deepfake AI.
Very frightening stuff. Here's an excellent read and summary of the technology thus far
It does not require much imagination to grasp the harm that could be done if entire populations can be shown fabricated videos that they believe are real. Imagine deepfake footage of a politician engaging in bribery or sexual assault right before an election; or of U.S. soldiers committing atrocities against civilians overseas; or of President Trump declaring the launch of nuclear weapons against North Korea. In a world where even some uncertainty exists as to whether such clips are authentic, the consequences could be catastrophic.

I love that picture, but it seems more fitting for the random picture thread than the meme thread.
Fair point, didn't realize there was a random picture thread

For what it is worth during the Siege of Paris (1870-71) during the Franco-Prussian War the French trapped in Paris would launch manned balloons to communicate with the rest of France and the balloons would also carry out homing pigeons so communications could be returned. The Prussians in turn deployed hawks to try to catch the returning pigeons - the French thought this was very barbaric.
It's true pigeons and other animals have long been used by militaries. However, I always find it hilarious when it sounds like they blame the pigeon...

Not a meme, just wanted to share some cheesecake
Just kidding! This isn't cheesecake, it's red agate and white opal with botryodial chalcedony (from Nevada)... sure looks good enough to eat!

The man, who lives just 4km (2.5 miles) from the border, said he flew his pigeons to celebrate Eid festival. Police said the pigeon had a ring on one of its legs, inscribed with a code that they were trying to decipher. The Pakistani villager, who claims the arrested pigeon is his, says the code is actually his mobile phone number.
Hopefully the pigeon can afford a good lawyer

North America almost always gets the worst collector's editions.
Other than LRG I haven't purchased a collector's edition in a while. Why exactly Europe is different than North American which is different than Australia?

Europe got such a better collector's edition, I don't know why Nintendo decided to screw over North America

Thats the biggest complaint I've heard, but is that limited runs call or Sunsofts?
Almost certainly Sunsoft. If you go to Steam, you'll see that there is NO Zero + Zero 2 bundle. They're sold separately.
